Do you have a horse health question for a vet?

We will not diagnose any health problem or recommend treatment as we can't evaluate the horse.
Only a veterinarian who has examined the horse can do that.
Due to the volume of e-mails we receive, we can't answer all of them, but all questions will be considered.
Questions can be directed to AsktheVet@TheHorse.com.
